If I ever do get the C60 out to a show it will make great caravan with screened windows and doors. Mike Cecil posted info on the van body that said the floor was coated with Dektred and it was lifting in many places. I stripped the floor to bare metal and wondered what to put down in its place. The idea I came up with might not be the original but will do. I used a two part under coating/ primer from PPG that is very durable and sprinkled sand blasting grit into it. I put down two coats of primer and sand with two coats of grey porch floor enamel paint. It gives a slip resistant surface that will be very durable.

I haven't gotten the truck licensed yet so miles traveled are minimal. I went about three miles yesterday and there was shimmy and shake in the steering. Today I went over three miles and things went much better. The old girl has sat for so long and different tires maybe things need to be run in again.

I have a transmission out of a 15 cwt in the truck and am wondering if speedometer drive unit in a 60 cwt transmission is a different gear ratio. Could the brain trust comment on that possibility?
